An International Dance and Language Center for Perry Hall?

An International Dance and Foreign Languages Center in Perry Hall?

Finally something enriching for our children.

Isn't there something else we could have our children do, in addition to the old stand-bys of going to the mall or playing video games?

Are not our children yearning for something new and different, yet fun and enriching?

Only if we as parents and adults make new such opportunities available.

The fact is Perry Hall and Baltimore County has become diverse in many ways, not only in respect to the origins and languages of people, but also in respect to the types of activities which parents seek for their children. Furthermore, an increasing number of businesses are requiring foreign language skills. Both businesses and schools have built international connections. The concrete need for understanding foreign languages and cultures is here.

Face it. With such highly-popular programs as Dancing With the Stars, with children's television offering characters with bilingual skills, and with many U.S. high schools offering foreign language clubs, foreign languages and dances have become quite exciting and popular across the U.S. 

The Question Remains. What about dances and languages in Perry Hall?

Would parents in the area take their children to learn and enjoy international dances? Would they enroll their children in language classes?

Perhaps they would if the opportunity were made available.

I am proposing an International Dance and Language Center for Perry Hall. This would offer cultural dance classes, including Latin, African, and Bellydance as well as language classes in Spanish, French, and Chinese, possibly Hindi. This would be a great addition in the Perry Hall/White Marsh community. A fun learning program, definitely not the only standbys, but a refreshing change where children develop life, cultural, and motor skills. Children who demand high mental and physical stimulation would benefit from this type of program.

Second languages are in demand today as are international dances, but are they in such demand in Perry Hall to warrant an international dance and language center? We want your input.

My sister-in-law actually played with my nephew too Tim. Unlike EVERY OTHER single parent that wasRead More there. However, you can't tie your child to you. They came there to play. Bullies move very quick. When my nephew fell and was visibily scared, not a single parent except for one even noticed. Nobody from the library was in site. You are right that if parents were required to pay attention to their children then there would not be an opportunities for bullies because the parents of those bullies would be watching them also. When the group came from a religious school in Pikesville this is exactly what happened. All the parents stayed with their kids. All other parents, with little exception stayed in a waiting room talking amongst themselves paying little attention to their children. My nephew has been to all kinds of playgrounds and never been attacked by older kids before. Next time, if my nephew is attacked by an older child I will urge my brother to call the police and press charges against the parent. However, irreponsible Storyville need not worry -- won't be back there. Just wish our tax dollars weren't supporting this.

Let me put this in more practical terms. 1. My sister-in-law suggests that the bully seemed about 8Read More years old and probably shouldn't have been left at Storyville to begin with. There is no ID system at Storyville for childs age. 2. The bully caused various kinds of mayhem. Knocking down things, shouting, etc. No one from the library is actually in Storyville so there was no disciplinary action taken such as removing the child. 3. Parents should not view Storyville as a babysitter and not be allowed to congregate in the waiting area, leaving their children to play alone. 4. Items that could be used to cause serious injury should be removed from Storyville. 5. Cameras. If an 8 year old hits a 3 year old at Storyville where parents are suppose to be watching their children, I want proof for a court case. Yes, it's a shame it can't just be a pleasant place to take your kids but it isn't. It is filled with unrully children and uninterested parents. A child SHOULD NEVER leave a library with two bruises across his face EVER.

Sounds like your sister in law needs to grow a brain. If an 8 year old is running around like aRead More maniac, grab your child and GO FIND an employee to wage a complaint and get the kid booted. My daughter is 6 and went a couple weeks ago and was not permitted beyond the gate with the other kids in the group. Just because some ghetto monkey jumped the fence one day, don't give this place a black eye for it.
